Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Granada: Twenty Months in the Andes The author claims of the publishers the right to make one more acknowledgment of obligation, and that is to themselves. The liberality with which they have acceded to every wish of his, involving outlays far beyond what was at first intended, is one of the most pleasing circumstances in the retrospect of the long and unremitted toil this day concluded. And if succeed ing travelers shall find in the book that aid which the writer sought in vain, and the philanthropist shall feel his best sympa thies aroused for one of the most liberal and free nations on the face of the globe, that toil will not be unrewarded.

Download or read book The Andes and the Amazon written by James Orton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by James Orton, a Professor of Natural History at Vassar College in New York State, The Andes and the Amazon, or Across the Continent of South America tells the tale of the author's exploration of the continent in 1867. Now republished by Forgotten Book, this book provides the reader with one man's take on South America and its people. The book opens with a brief introduction, which states, "In this century one can almost count upon his hand the travelers who have written of their journeys in this unknown region." The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different facet of South America. There are chapters on the city and people of Guayaquil, an account of climbing the Andes, the country of Ecuador and in particular Quito, traversing the Amazon and the fantastic wildlife of the great river, and more. The book concludes with a brief guide for readers on how to travel in South America, including the most popular routes and the necessary precautions to take. The Andes and the Amazon is clearly a product of a specific time period. The author and his attitudes can occasionally be interpreted as racist. Orton's tone not withstanding, this is an interesting account of an early exploration of South America. The author does an admirable job describing the flora and fauna of the region, and certainly respects the beautiful natural terrain of the continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Along the Andes and Down the Amazon "The exploits of the conquistadores of America were so stupendous, so fabulous, that no epic could do them justice, no narrative, however faithful, complete or masterly, could portray the reality. It is necessary to have been born and to have lived a long time in America and to know the Andes, the deserts, the forests, the rivers, the morasses, the coasts, the climates, of this part of the world, where everything is colossal; to compare the formidable obstacles, which still exist, with the far greater ones overcome by the Spaniards, in order to form an adequate idea of the prodigious daring, heroism and inflexibility of the conquistadores. All the impetuosity of the conqueror of the Moor, the indomitable tenacity of the Arragonese, the patient and silent constancy of the Castilian, who fought and died with a jest on his lips, the vehement curiosity and passion of the Andalusian, the cold and calculating perseverance of the Catalonian and the Basque, were exhibited in that struggle of a handful of Titans engaged in the conquest of a world of exuberant heat and life, force and majesty, riches and population, novelty and marvels... In that epoch all was great, the good and the bad, iniquity and virtue, force and resistance, but the greatness of force was in man while that of resistance was in nature." Jose M.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels Amongst the Great Andes, of the Equator The most opposite statements and opinions have been advanced concerning this matter. The extremes range from saying that fatal results may occur, and have occurred, from some obscure cause, at comparatively moderate elevations, down to that no effects whatever have been experienced at the greatest heights which have been attained. Allegations of the latter class may be set aside for the present, for the evidence is overwhelming that, from 14 000 feet above the level of the sea and upwards, serious inconveniences have occurred; that prostration (amounting in the more extreme cases to incapacitation) has been experienced; and that, in some instances, perhaps, even death has resulted through some cause which operates at great elevations.

Download or read book The Andes and the Amazon written by C. Reginald Enock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Andes and the Amazon: Life and Travel in Peru Peru, almost alone of her neighbours in South America, possesses this characteristic. If She consisted only of a strip of coast-zone between the Andes and the sea, such as is Chile, she would have a much less important future. Brazil, with her vast area of territory, has no outlet or dominion on the Pacific. Bolivia is entirely surrounded by the territories of other States since her Pacific seaport of Antofagasta was taken by Chile, although she still enjoys a portion of navigable waters of the affluents of the Amazon. Ecuador borders only upon the Pacific, although the result of the arbitration Of her dispute with Peru may allot her a strip of territory which includes navigable arms of the Maranon, so giving access to the main stream of the Amazon. Colombia alone fronts upon two oceans - the Pacific and the Caribbean Sea; but she has lost the sovereignty of the isthmus of Panama. Venezuela is a country Without communication upon the Pacific or the Amazon; her interests are upon the Caribbean Sea and the Orinoco. The geographical Situation Of Peru is, then, favourable to future development, and it is only a question of time before the tide of human activity sets that way. Let us consider some of the physical features Of the country. The Pacific coast-line of Peru is about miles in length, from its boundary in the north with Ecuador, to that in the south with Chile; that is, from Santa Rosa to the valley of Camarones. Its northernmost coast point is near latitude 3 south, and its southernmost near latitude 18 south. AS to its longitude it lies between 62 and 81 west of Greenwich.1 It is to be recollected that South America as a whole is almost totally east of North America; and Lima, the capital of Peru, is east of the capital of the United States - Washington. Along this coast-line there are many harbours and ports, whence produce is shipped and goods disembarked. Some of these are splendid harbours, especially Callao.
